FIRST DAY of the brand-new low cost Lumo train: WOW! (TRIP REPORT)

Good morning! The date is Monday 25th October 2021, the launch date of brand-new low cost operator Lumo. Owned by FirstGroup, Lumo is an open-access operator who operates trains between London and Edinburgh, as a direct rival not only to London North Eastern Railway (LNER), who have always had the monopoly of the rail corridor, but also to easyJet and British Airways - indeed, London to Edinburgh is the UK's busiest "air bridge"! So, will Lumo manage to compete with these well-established companies? Their main selling point are their attractive, unbeatable prices, and for this ride on the inaugural northbound service I paid under £10. Worth it? Enjoy the video folks, don't hesitate to leave me a like and comment as this really does help the channel. (By the way, sorry for uploading this later than usual. Also, this video is the first I am releasing that is filmed on my new GoPro Hero9 Black, I'm testing out the features a bit in the next couple videos to see which I prefer. Let me know what you think of the filming in this one!)
